THE APPROACH OF CHOLERA.

THE APPROACH OF CiOLElsA'
We have not yet any cholera in the
United States, but it is getting unrom-
fortably near. News from the South says:
THE Argentine Republic has suffered
severely. At Tucuman, a city in the
northern part, the death rate has reached
2JO q day, with the aCcOmpanimentS OF
famine, lack ofmediCal service and all the
horrors of insufficient burial facilities. In
Chill the number of deaths to February -
is estimated ut /, 900, while in the single
city Of Santiago, during the four days pre-
cediug that date, there were 626 cases and
Az deaths. The maliguity Of the dis
ease in these countries is one Of ITS
most startling characteristics. Mean
time, rigorous quarantine meas
ures have been taken, the Bolivian gov
eminent having established Gordon and
Peru excluding from all her ports, not
only merchant vessels, but even ships oil
the naval Squadrons that have touched the
infected territory of Chilli. Instead OF
reaching the isthmus, as was recently re-
ported, the disease has not yet made ITS
appearance on the coast north OF Nalpd'
r,,iSO.
Aud the reports sent out are no doubt
made rs mild rs possible, as no city OF
country will permit its commerce to he IN
iured by reports of a plague if there is any
way to prevent it. Nor will railway or
steamship lines carry uniayorable reports il
they can helpit.
South America received cholera through
infected rags in the baggage OF Italian inn
migrants. The Italians are landing on our
Atlantic coast by thousands, but the quar-
antine regulations are so thorough that
there is little danger to he feared except
from the South. We have not much com
merce with the South American States, but
when the cholera once gets into Mexico,
the frontier is too extensive to preserve et-
fectiye quarantine, and it will cross the
Rio Grande in spite of the efforts OF the
authorities.
The safety of our people lies in watch
fulneSS aud cleanliness.

A well at Yskutsk, in Siberia, has
been standing puzzle to scientists for
many years. 1t was begun in 1928, but
given up at thirty feet because it was
still in frozen earth. Then the Russian
Academy of Sciences COL tinued for some
months the work of deepening the we'll,
but stopped when it had reached to the
extent of some 3S2 feet, when the ground
was still frozen as hard as rock. In
1o44 the Academy had the temperature
of the excavation carefully taken at va
rious depths, and from the data thus OBJ
tanned the ground was estimated to be
frozen to a depth of 6l2 feet As ex-
ternal cold could not freeze the earth to
such depth, even in Siberia, geologists
Save concluded that the well has pene-
trate6 a frozen formation of the glacial
Aarsod which has never thawed out,

Severed Fingers.

We have spoken of skin grafting-the
process by which bits of skin from
healthy parts of the body, or from the
Body OF some self-sacrihcing friend, are
transferred to an ugly ulcer, or an ex-
tensive and deep burn, and which, be.
coming centres of healthy growth, pro-
mote the healing, otherwise doubtful.
We have also spoken of sponge grating,
in which pieces of sponge are introduced
into gaping wounds, and with the blood
clot that fills the interstices, are rapidly
organized into flesh with all its proper
nerves and vessels.
More lately it has been found that
bone grating is possibility for healing
and restoration of destroyed bone, bits
being used somewhat as bits Of skin are
used in skin-grafting. In the first in
stance, the physician was able to employ
bone from the severed leg of child;
subsequently he used with equal success
bits from kid killed for the purpose.
This method will need further testing.
But it has long been known that where
a portion of bone-it may be a large
portion-has been lost, the intermediate
space will fill up with new bone, and
fully reunite the severed parts, provided
the limb is kept fully extended For
this, however, it is necessary that the
thin membrane which covers the bone
(periosteuml should have remained
sound.
In the Boston Melical and Surgical
Journal, few months ago, DR.. Souther,
of Worcester, told of young man who
brought to him a severed part Of his
little finger, wrapped up in his handker-
chief The doctor adjusted the piece
it was three. quarters of an inch in
length-and, much to his surprise, the
parts grew together, and the circulation
was renewed.
More recently surgeon of Burdett,
New York, has given a still more signal
case.
lie was called to boy. three of whose
fingers had be cut of by an axe. 1t
was three OF four hours before he reached
the boy. The fingers were cut clean off
from the middle ioint of the first finger
TO the root of the nail of the third.
While dressing them, the grandmother,
brought in the fingers, which she had
Iust found in the snow.
Against his own convictions, he con-
sented to try to save them. He sue
ceeded, and saved all except about one
half the joint of the first finger in which
the blood failed to circulate. The boy
regained the free use of the severed fin
gers. - Youths CdmpdHiOR.

The Oldest Army Officer.

General Sherman was at the Ebbitt
House to get shaved, and when about to
leave the BARRIERS room was accosted by
a white haired gentleman who begged to
speak with him for moment. General
sherman looked at him and tried to re-
call his name. 'I think l have met you
somewhere" he said. The gentleman
who accosted him then introduced him
self as Captain King, the oldest living
officer of the army, whe entered the SER
vice in 1918, fourteen years before Gen
eral Sherman entered the Military Aead-
emy as a cadet. Capt in King was in
the, Mexican war and his "reminiscences

Clever Escape From Paris Jail.

An escape has been made from the
Mazas Jail in Paris under most extraor-
ding circumstances. A prisoner named
Altmayer, belonging to a well to-do
Jewish family, who was undergoing
term of imprisonment for embezzling a
sum of $40, 900 from a Paris banker,
forged in his cell letter of dismissal,
and obtained his liberty by showing it to
the warders and hall porter 1t is sup
posed that while he was being examined
in Juge d'Instruction's office he con-
trived, while the Judges back was
turned, to stamp and ma k ,heet of
writing paper. In his cell he initiated
with marvellous skill the magistrates
handwriting, which he had leisure to
study during his confinement of two
months and half. The letter was an
order, signed by the Judge in the name
of the procurator, to set free the prisoner.
He inclosed this in an official envelope,
stolen. no doubt, from the Judges Office,
and on leaving this before entering the
van he handed it to his warder. with a
request to take it to the prison director.
Arrived at Alazas the prisoner, after re-
naming for five minutes with the other
few inmates, was called up and sent away
free.

DEATH.

Oh Death, the Consecratort
Nothing so sanctifies a name,
AS to be written-deadi
Nothing so wins life from blame,
SO covers it from wrath and shame,
As does the burial bed.
Oh Death, the Revelatori
Our deepest passions never move,
Till thou hast bid them wake,
We know not half how much we love,
Till all below and all above,
Is shrouded for our sake.
Oh Death, the great Peacemakeri
II enmity have come between,
There's naught like death to heal it.
And If we love, oh priceless pain,
Oh bitter-sweet, when love is vain,
There's naught like death to seal it

Catching Gold.

We are still greatly at sea as regards
the way common colds are induced,
says "Family Doctor" in the Practical
Farmer. They are caused, believe, IN
a great many more ways than we have
any idea of. The words, catching
chill, " are to me entirely devoid of mean
ing. II by cold we mean a congested
state of the mucous membranes that line
the passages through which we breathe,
with discharge of water therefrom, pain
in eyes and nose, tickling in the throat,
tenderness and rawness of chest, with
secondary symptoms in the shape of
general feelings of dulness of mind and
body, and aching of limbs, then say
these symptoms may be produced in
many ways. Direct cold poured upon
the head or face, as in driving against the
wind, may produce them, so may the
breathing of damp. cold air or even of
fumes from some melting substances,
etc., that evolve irritating gases. Here
you have your cold produced in me
chanical way. A cold may be taken
through the feet OF through the body, if
either be insutiicientIy clad or wet; but
this is not caused by the cold striking
up through or in through either, but by
causing depression of the nervous system,
and consequent congestion of the air pas
sages, in those subject TO such com
plant. But cold may also be brought
about by indigestion or arrangement OF
the liver, or temporary weakness OF the
heart from any cause. And as for treat
ment, it seems to me that the less heroic
it is the better. Extra warmth, rest OF
the whole system, the mildest of aperi-
ents and abstinence in diet will be fonnd,
as a rule, eifectual and safe.

There is sexton in West Springfield,
Mass, who deserves notice because he
knows the value of ventilation and how
to secure it. The other evening, when
the prayer meeting room was well filed
and tie air became bad, he waited for a
pause in the services, and then said if
the congregation would all arise for q
few moments he would ventilate the
room. They arose, and he opened win
dows and doors, let bad air out and good
air in, and then the congregation sat
down, feeling BETTER and the services
went on br;skly.

They have very effective way of re-
cruiting the army in Mexico. A colonel,
being short of men, sent fifty troopers
into Sonora town, and they ran down
thirty or forty citizens, locked them up
on bogus charge of drunkenness, and
had them sentenced" to serve in the
army for one year. All this took less
than half day, but there was more or
less fun while it lasted.

The barrel cranks have not abandoned
Niagara Falls. A Buffalo newspaper
says that Troy man purposes to go
over the great cataract on April Is, in
a barrel similar in shape to the one
Graham had when he went through the

two airholes, and all around the outside
will be covering of rubber six inches
thick, so that if the barrel strikes the

gan firing to brighten the passengers. Laude
looked out of window, and was ordered to
